A thousand times!

I gotta love my sisters optimism concerning my photography. Yesterday she texted me a photographers work from the TPC who said, "All I did was post my work on Flicker, the jobs all came to me, I did not have to do anything else." She said, OMG, you are a thousand times better than him!
Maybe so, I do not fathom how one measures such, but one thing is certain. You can be a mediocre artist with savvy promotion skills and people will flock to you. I am the opposite. I shoot all the time, practicing if you will, all the time, for the big game, sitting on the bench, if you will, awaiting the starters to foul out. They never do. They never will. There will always be a new recruit. A thousand times the artist. The promoter.
I wistfully tell my sister I appreciate the confidence and go about my business, thinking, hmmmm...I may just have to post to the big easy Flicker and bring some of that fame my way......
